Kalki Koechlin says she enjoys dressing up in traditional clothes during festivals

Kalki Koechlin loves the festive season as she feels it has its own charm. She also enjoys dressing up in traditional and semi traditional outfits with nice matching jewellery. “I absolutely love the festive season and its spirit. It has its own charm of celebration, bringing people together, spreading joy and happiness. During this time, I thoroughly enjoy dressing up in traditional and semi-traditional attire paired with some lovely antique and ethnic jewellery,” the actress said. “However, when it comes to make-up, I prefer keeping it natural with just a dark kajal, mascara and a red lipstick,” she added. The actress also gave a quick beauty and skincare guide to look gorgeous through the season. “To experience that glowing and flawless skin, it is important to cleanse your face. Hence, one must invest in a good face cleanser. To get festive ready, don’t waste time at a parlour to get rid of unwanted hair. It’s best to stay away from harmful creams and painful waxing sessions as these methods tend to cause rashes and damage skin in the long run. I prefer shaving as it is a painless affair and helps remove dead skin layer on the go as compared to other hair removal methods,” she added. Stressing on the importance on staying hydrated the actress said, “To look gorgeous throughout the festive season, make sure to up your intake of liquids like water and coconut water to keep yourself hydrated. Every morning, I drink 7-8 glasses of water to keep my skin feeling fresh and supple.”
